I may be freaking out a bit, but one year? Already? I honestly cannot believe it has almost been one year since I got engaged. I can't tell if I am more upset or excited about this whole situation. First of all, that means we are one year closer to the big day (holla 2018)! But that also means that I am almost done with college and that I have less of a year to plan.. so I may be freaking a bit (clearly).
One year goes by so fast, I honestly cannot believe all that has happened and all that is to come. I have start to plan my wedding, just little things, like how I want a food truck and donut bar (all of the important stuff). I also found my wedding dress, I know it is super early, but I feel so much better getting it out of the way. The only thing I have not done is pick a venue, which is probably the most important part.. besides getting married of course. So with this year passing so quickly, I really hope that I can get all of this done.
But being engaged for a year has honestly been one of the best times of my life. Not every day is easy, but it's always a comfort to come home to your significant other. I have learned that even though I am only engaged, serious couple life starts now. I have been living with my fiancé for two years now, and I am really happy to have experienced this. A lot of people may not think it's right to live with someone when you're not married yet, but seriously, you get to know that person even more when you live with them and that's really important before getting married. We lived together before getting engaged so I knew exactly what I was getting into when he proposed.
Honestly, even though it has already been a year, it feels as if it's been a day. Nothing has really changed besides the fact that we are excitedly planning a wedding. Being engaged in college doesn't mean my life is over, it means I have someone who sticks with me through all my super hard exams. It doesn't mean we spend every single moment together, we have our own lives, but we always have each other at the end of the day, and that is such a comfort to me.
So to sum it all up, being engaged for a year already is crazy, but I wouldn't ask for anything else in my college years. I have my best friend with me through one of the toughest times in my life, and people may think I am crazy for commiting in college, but I have had so much support and still go out and have fun with everyone. This doesn't mean my life is over, it means my life is just beginning.
